Sokağı Büyülemek: Gündelik Hayatın Seküler Temelleri Üzerine Bir Soruşturma
Journal Title: insan & toplum - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Sekülerleşme süreci, pek çok disipline uzunca bir dönem tartışacak malzeme üretmiştir. Ne var ki sosyal bilimlerin ölçek daraltması, özellikle de gündelik hayat çalışmalarına yönelmesi için moderniteye karşı kayda değer bir kuşkunun ortaya çıkmasını beklemek gerekmiştir. Bu kuşkunun olgunlaşmasıyla birlikte, 20. yüzyıl başlarında farklı amaç ve ön çıkarımlarla gündelik hayatı konu edinen çalışmalar, gündelik hayatın seküler bir kurgu olduğunu ima eden ortak sonuçlar üretmiştir. Makalenin amacı, bu imanın izini sürmek, gündelik hayatın seküler temellerini alternatif bir kavramsal çerçeve aracılığıyla soruşturmak ve gündelik hayatı dönüştürme fikrini tartışmaktır. Böyle bir tartışmanın temel uğrak noktaları, seküler ve dinsel ayrımı, sekülarizm tartışmaları, sekülerleşme ve rasyonelleşme teorileri ile gündelik hayat literatürü olmak durumundadır. Makalede bu kavram ve teorilere ilişkin alternatif bir okuma yapılacak ve bu bağlamda gündelik hayatı dönüştürme faaliyetine atfen stra-taktik uygulama kavramı önerilecektir. Makalenin odağını oluşturan gündelik hayatı dönüştürme fikri, gündelik hayatın mevcut dokusu, bu dokunun varlık ve süreklilik şartları, son olarak da gündelik hayatı dönüştürme açısından faillik ve niyet kavramına göndermede bulunur. Bu nedenle bir fail olarak İslamcılık da makalede tartışmaya açılacaktır. The process of secularization has produced many issues that will be discussed in a great number of disciplines for a long time to come. In order for social science’s range of interest and influence to be narrowed, especially for its inclination toward works focusing on Everyday Life, it has been necessary to wait for significant doubt toward modernity to appear in society. Together with the ripening of this doubt, the different goals and pre-suppositions at the beginning of the 20th century, as well as works dealing with Everyday Life, mutual conclusions have been reached implying that Everyday Life is a secular construction. The goal of this article is three fold; the first is to follow the trail of belief, the second is to investigate Everyday Life’s secular foundations through an alternative conceptual framework, and the third is to discuss Everyday Life’s theory of transformation. The converging points of such a discussion lie in the separation of religion and state, discussions on secularism, secularization and rationalization theories, and the literature on Everyday Life. An alternative reading of the relations between these concepts and theories will be performed, and in doing so, the actions and implementations used for transformation by Everyday Life (the concept of sta-tactic implementation) will be presented. As will be the focus of this article, Everyday Life’s theory of transformation includes the current pattern of Everyday Life, the conditions for the existence and survival of this pattern, and finally, the concept of intention and being an actor in daily life through Everyday Life’s transformation perspective. For this reason, discussion will be opened up regarding Islamism’s being an active agent in Everyday Life.
